Alana Scheiffers, Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation winner of the of the scholarship to attend the Management & Ethics module held in September 2024.
“Winning the FEAL MBS scholarship has been an exceptional experience for me. The opportunity to attend the Managerial Decision Making course in May was invaluable. The course itself was a treasure trove of knowledge, providing me with deep insights into strategic thinking and effective decision-making processes. These learnings are not just theoretical; they are practical tools that I am excited to bring back to my organisation, where I am confident they will drive significant positive change.
Equally enriching was the chance to engage with industry colleagues throughout the course. The warmth and accommodation extended by my peers created an environment conducive to open discussions and meaningful exchanges. Building these professional relationships has broadened my perspective and created meaningful connections for me within the industry.
FEAL’s dedication to nurturing talent and fostering industry excellence is truly appreciated. The support and opportunities they provide, such as this scholarship, are instrumental in shaping the future leaders of our industry. I am deeply grateful for the experience and look forward to applying the invaluable insights I’ve gained.”
